Title: A whip round for Motomag II (Greg)
Post by: oldschoolace on July 19, 2012, 10:16 AM
As some of you may know Greg had a nasty fall at the last bones lockin and is now selling his whole collection to cover his wages.
I know some will disagree and thats fine, maybe Greg wont want the help but i would like to propose we all chip in a few bob to help Greg back on his feet.
whats the point in having a community if it doesn't come together when a member needs it?  :daumenhoch:

I'm not entirely flush myself at the mo but being self employed i can totally appreciate Gregs predicament and happy to send what i can.

Greg if this is ok with you, get your paypal addy up so we can lend a hand  :daumenhoch:

UPDATE * send any donations to Olgabrooke@aol.com *

Greg probably won't like this so it best to get donations sent to your paypal then send him donations in one drop.

I'm up for chipping in ... helping a fallen Radster is what we are all about  :daumenhoch:

I went to see Greg last night and he really needs to get rid of his bikes,maybe keeping one,so buying his stuff would be a help :)

All his bikes are riders and he wont be doing any riding for the forseable future.....

I think Greg will agree with me here :daumenhoch:

It felt bad that we had a man down Brothers but I didn't have a clue what to do.

Then this thread pops up.

Brilliant idea.

 Don't get too down Greg and don't listen too much to the doctors about riding.

MidschoolStace was nearly wiped out years ago when Some fckn Chav smashed into him in an Escort at 40 Mph.

He nearly went to the big BMX track in the sky and the Docs told him he'd never ride again cos his legs were smashed.

Stace thought fck that got better and still rides to this day. Here he is at my Stag-Do at the Boardroom.

Kind of the point of having this sort of community. Greg, don't know you, but anyone still riding / collecting old school is a mate in my book. Adding a bit to the whip round. Hope you can keep at least one ride  :daumenhoch:
